Transitioning Between DJs

The NS6II allows two computers running Serato DJ to connect to the unit simultaneously. This allows

two DJs to play at the same time for easy DJ set changeovers. With a computer already connected

to the NS6II and playing (PC1), do the following:

1. Connect a second computer (PC2) to the unused USB port on NS6II’s rear panel. Once the

computer has connected, the software will show all decks offline. The first computer will still

control both sides of NS6II.

2. Before giving PC2 control of one side of NS6II, make sure no audio is playing from PC2 on that

deck, as it will go offline. Then, press and hold Shift and press the Browse Focus / PC1/PC2

button on the non-playing deck.

PC2 will now control the two channels on that side of the controller, and will automatically have

focus of the browse controls. Use the browse knob to scroll through the library, then add the

desired track to the deck by pressing the Load button.

3. Play a track on PC2’s deck and mix it in when ready—you’ll now have audio from both

computers in the mix. For example, while PC1 uses Deck A (and the mixer controls for Channels

1 & 3) to control their computer, PC2 can also use Deck B (and the mixer controls for Channels 2

& 4) to control their computer.

With one computer controlling each deck, press the Browse Focus / PC1/PC2 button on the

non-playing deck to switch control of the browse knob.

4. Fade out the audio playing from PC1’s computer to the audio playing from PC2’s computer.

When only the audio from PC2’s computer is left in the mix, press and hold Shift and press the

Browse Focus / PC1/PC2 button on the non-playing deck. Now, PC2 is using both Decks A

and B to control their computer. You can now disconnect PC1’s computer from NS6II.

Note: If a deck is already in use by a computer, the computer’s virtual deck (in Serato DJ) will

become black and display IN USE.

Mode. They are velocity-sensitive (in certain modes only), durable, and easy to play. In

this section, when referring to specific pads, it will refer to the numbers as shown here.

27. Parameter < / >: Use these buttons for various functions in each Pad Mode. Press and

hold Shift and use these buttons to access secondary parameters.

If you have purchased the Serato Pitch N’ Time expansion, pressing and holding Shift and

then pressing these buttons will adjust the Key of the current track down (<) or up (>).

28. Cues: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two modes: Hot Cue Mode and

Hot Cue Auto-Loop Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Hot

Cue Mode.

• Hot Cue Mode: Each pad assigns a Hot Cue Point or returns the track to that Hot

Cue Point. When a pad is unlit, you can assign a Hot Cue Point by pressing it at the

desired point in your track. Once it is assigned, the pad will light. Press and hold

Shift and then press a pad to delete its assigned Hot Cue Point.

• Hot Cue Auto-Loop Mode: Each pad assigns a Hot Cue Point or returns the track

to that Hot Cue Point, but in both cases, it also creates an Auto-Loop at that point.

The Auto-Loop's length is set in the software, but you can decrease or increase it

with the Parameter < or Parameter > button.

Important: If you have purchased the Serato Flip Expansion Pack, the Parameter < and

Parameter > buttons have additional functions in Hot Cue Mode and Hot Cue Auto-Loop

Mode that let you create and control Flips. See Flip Controls to learn more.

29. Auto / Roll: This Pad Mode button puts the pads in two modes: Auto-Loop Mode and

Loop Roll Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Auto-Loop

Mode.

Note: The pad layouts here match the software's default Auto-Loop time division layout. If

you shift the range of time divisions displayed in the software, the pad layout will change

to match it.

• Auto-Loop Mode: Each pad triggers or releases an Auto-Loop of a different length.

Press and hold Shift and then press the Parameter < or Parameter > button to shift

the Auto-Loop backward or forward.

• Loop Roll Mode: Each pad triggers a momentary Loop Roll. Press the Parameter < or

Parameter > button to change the Loop Roll's time division.

30. Loop: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two banks of saved loops and

Manual Loop controls. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select the first

bank.

• Saved Loop Mode: Pads 1-4 (the top row) return the track to one of your saved loops.

You create and save a loop using Pads 5-8 (the bottom row). The pad layouts for the

two banks are identical.

o To create a loop, press Pad 5 to set the Loop In Point, and then press Pad 6 to

set the Loop Out Point and trigger the loop.

o To save a loop, while a loop is active, press any one of Pads 1-4 (the top row) that

does not have a loop assigned to it. You can do this regardless of how the loop

was created (Saved Loop Mode, Auto-Loop Mode, Loop Roll Mode, etc.).

o To trigger a saved loop, press any one of Pads 1-4 (the top row) that has a loop

saved to it. Press Pad 7 to activate or deactivate the loop. Press Pad 8 to return

the track to the last triggered loop and reactivate it ("reloop").

o To delete a saved loop, press and hold Shift and then press the corresponding

pad (of Pads 1-4).

o To halve or double the length of a loop, press the Parameter < or Parameter >

button.

o To shift a loop backward or forward, press and hold Shift and then press the

31. Sampler: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two modes: Sample Player

Mode and Sample Velocity Trigger Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will

always select Sample Player Mode.

• Sample Player Mode: Pads 1-6 each trigger a sample, which you can assign in the

software (the volume level is also set in the software). Unlit pads have no sample

assigned to them. To stop playback of a sample, press and hold Shift and then press

the corresponding pad (of Pads 1-3 or Pads 4-6).

• Sample Velocity Trigger Mode: The pads behave identically to the pads in Sample

Player Mode, except they are velocity-sensitive, so triggered samples will play back at

a volume level proportional to how heavily you pressed the pads. This mode can give

your performance more of a "human feel."

32. Slicer: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two modes: Slicer Mode and

Slicer Loop Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Slicer Mode.

Important: Your track must have a set Beat Grid for Slicer Mode or Slicer Loop Mode to

work.

• Slicer Mode: The eight pads represent eight sequential beats—"Slices"—in the Beat

Grid. The currently playing Slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light will

"move through the pads" as it progresses through each eight-Slice phrase. Press a

pad to play that Slice—hold it down if you want to keep looping it. When you release

the pad, the track will resume normal playback from where it would have been if you

had never pressed it (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).

Press the Parameter < or Parameter > button to decrease or increase the Slice

quantization. Press and hold Shift and then press the Parameter < or Parameter >

button to decrease or increase the Slice Domain size.

• Slicer Loop Mode: The pads behave identically to the pads in Slicer Mode, except the

eight-Slice phrase will loop rather than moving forward continuously through the track.

5. Line/Phono Inputs (RCA): Connect your audio sources to these inputs. These inputs can

accept both line and phono-level signals.

6. Line/Phono Switch: Flip this switch to the appropriate position, depending on the device

connected to the Line/Phono Inputs. If you are using phono-level turntables, set this

switch to Phono to provide the additional amplification needed for phono-level signals. If

using a line-level device, such as a CD player or sampler, set this switch to Line.

7. Grounding Terminal: If using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the

grounding wire to these terminals. If you experience a low “hum” or “buzz”, this could

mean that your turntables are not grounded.

Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection and, therefore,

nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.

8. Mic Inputs (1/4"): Connect 1/4" (6.35 mm) microphones to these inputs. Microphone

controls are located on the front panel. The inputs’ audio signals are routed directly to the

Program Mix and Cue Mix.

9. Booth Output (RCA): Use standard RCA cables to connect this output to a booth

monitoring system. The level of this output is controlled by the Booth knob on the top

panel.

10. Master Output (RCA): Use standard RCA cables to connect this output to a speaker or

amplifier system. The level of this output is controlled by the Master knob on the top panel.

11. Master Output (XLR): Connect this low-impedance XLR output to a PA system or

powered monitors. The level of this output is controlled with the Master knob on the top

panel.

2. ¡Conecte y sea el DJ!

Siga esta secuencia de pasos toda vez que use NS6II:

1. Asegúrese de que todos los dispositivos estén apagados y que todos los faders y perillas

de ganancia estén ajustados a "cero".

2. Conecte al NS6II las fuentes de entrada (micrófonos, reproductores de CD, etc.) al NS6II.

3. Conecte al NS6II los dispositivos de salida (amplificadores de potencia, submezclador,

grabadores, etc.).

4. Enchufe todos los dispositivos a las fuentes de alimentación y enciéndalos en el orden

correcto:

• Para iniciar la sesión, encienda (1) las fuentes de entrada, (2) el NS6II, (3) los

dispositivos de salida.

• Al terminar la sesión, invierta esta operación apagando (1) los dispositivos de salida,

(2) el NS6II y (3) las fuentes de entrada.

5. Conecte el NS6II a la computadora con el cable USB (incluido) y a sus auriculares.

Transición entre DJ

El NS6II permite que dos ordenadores que ejecutan Serato DJ se conecten simultáneamente a la

unidad. Esto permite que dos DJ toquen al mismo tiempo y facilita el traspaso entre DJ. Con un

ordenador previamente conectado al NS6II y tocando (PC1), realice lo siguiente:

1. Conecte un segundo ordenador (PC2) al puerto USB no utilizado del panel trasero del NS6II.

Una vez conectado el ordenador, el software mostrará todas las bandejas fuera de línea. El

primer ordenador continuará controlando aún ambos lados del NS6II.

2. Antes de pasar al PC2 el control de un lado del NS6II, asegúrese de que no se esté

reproduciendo audio de PC2 en esa bandeja, puesto que va a pasar a estar fuera de línea. A

continuación, mantenga pulsado Shift y pulse el botón Browse Focus / PC1/PC2 de la bandeja

que no está reproduciendo.

PC2 controlará ahora los dos canales de ese lado del controlador y tendrá automáticamente

enfoque de los controles de navegación. Use la perilla de navegación para recorrer la biblioteca

y añada a la pantalla la pista deseada pulsando el botón Load (Cargar).

3. Reproduzca un tema en la bandeja de PC2 y agréguelo a la mezcla cuando esté listo—ahora

tendrá audio proveniente de ambos ordenadores en la mezcla. Por ejemplo, mientras PC1 utiliza

la bandeja A (y los controles del mezclador de los canales 1 y 3) para controlar su ordenador,

PC2 también puede utilizar la bandeja B (y los controles del mezclador de los canales 2 y 4) para

controlar su ordenador.

Con un ordenador controlando cada bandeja, pulse el botón Browse Focus / PC1/PC2 de la

bandeja que no está reproduciendo para conmutar el control de la perilla de navegación.

4. Baje progresivamente el volumen del audio que proviene del ordenador de PC1y aumente

progresivamente el audio que proviene del ordenador de PC2. Cuando solo quede en la mezcla

el audio del ordenador de PC2, mantenga pulsado Shift y pulse el botón Browse Focus /

PC1/PC2 de la bandeja que no está reproduciendo. Ahora, PC2 está utilizando las bandejas

tanto A como B para controlar su ordenador. En este momento, puede desconectar el

ordenador de PC1 del NS6II.

Nota: Si una bandeja esta siendo utilizada ya por un ordenador, la bandeja virtual del ordenador (en

Serato DJ) se pondrá negra y mostrará IN USE (En uso).
